From the practitioner: About My Practice

PPG Integrative Medicine is a large integrative medicine practice with three physicians, two nurse practitioiners and two physician assistant. Most of us are either certified IFM practitioners or in the IFM program. We have a varied set of backgrounds that compliment each other, including internal medicine, family medicine, OB/GYN (we do not do annual pap exams or OB care) and pain management. Our varied backgrounds provide for a broad base of skills from which to draw in order to assist you reaching your goals. We also have excellent nutrition support and are affiliated with a group that provides body work and self-help classes, including massage, yoga, smoking cessation and mindfulness-based stress reduction.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Your initial visit will be an hour, and you will also be scheduled for a nutrition consult and introductory class at the time you make your initial appointment. The introductory class goes in depth about the foundations of gut health, dietary changes, lifestyle pillars and how these relate to your overall health. Because nutrition is the foundation of well-being, everyone sees the nutritionist at least once. We focus on building a partnership with you to help you achieve your goals with targeted and individualized care. We also provide you with access to My Chart, an online portal that provides access to your test results and an easy way to connect with your provider should you have questions or need an appointment.
